Sure, thanks, I'm already using the lofs'ed dirs for inter-zone sharing, I was referring only to the possibility to use the global-zone as the NFS server in orer to sharing the non-global zone interested directory as i.e. /export/home/zones/my-zone/root/export/shared, in order to circumvent the server problem as per the ngz Fabian ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Great, Thanks Ian, so the bundled Samba could be either SUNWsmba or in alternative pkg:/service/network/samba to get running under SMF control.

I'm totally using ZFS allocation with no involvement at all for UFS, so I guess that the idea of achieving a share using the global-zone as the server including the non-global zone dir it can be valid anyway? Yes, you can use NFS to share a directory from the global zone to other systems, *and* use LOFS to mount that same directory into a zone on the same system as the global zone. --JeffV ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

[zones-discuss] ON SMB/NFS server support for non-global zones
Hello, I have installed SUNWsmba on a non-global zone as well as in the global zone The global zone is okay, while the non-global zone it doesn't looks like to reply correctly to incoming connections. Has anybody had this type of problem? maybe there's no support for SUNWsmba in a non-global zone? I was trying to figure out how to overcome the not-supported native NFS service for non-global zones, any suggestions?
